May be due to the frequent visit of the Prison Advisory Committee comprising
of comrade P Jayarajan and others the life in prison has become a happy pastime.
The food menu in the prison has been changed from wheat ball (gothambunda) to
oiled chapathi and then to delicious chicken dish, mutton curry, dosa, idli,
puttu, kadala , chatni and what more. Prisoners are supplied with white uniforms
similar to one used by millionaire gold merchant the Chemmannoor jewellery
owner.
However, my friend who visited the juvenile home at Mayithara, Cherthala
where young prisoners are kept, was not of good opinion. He told me that the
juvenile prisoners have no uniform and what they have is the only dress they
wear. This is a pathetic condition and hence I suggest Prison Advisory Committee
or Assembly Subjects Committee to visit the spot and do the needful to improve
the condition of teenager prisoners.
